The New Schism In Bavaria Refusal of
the Minister of the Interior to Permit the
Publication of the (Ecumenical Decrees.
The Bavarian Minister of the Interior has
given the following decision in answer to the
petition of the Archbishop of Bamberg, asking
for the royal permission to publish and carry
out the decrees of the (Ecumenical Council.
Additional interest is Imparted to it by the re
cent refusal of DjH)lllnger to accept the doc
trine of infallibility, and the support of the
Bavarian Government in this refusal:
The Right Reverend Archbishop of Bamberg,
Michael V. Deinlein,' has, in referring to the
ministerial resolution of August 9, 1870, re
quested his Majesty's permission for the publi
cation and solemn declaration of the first dog
matic constitution de tcclesiaChristi edila in es
ione quarta sacrosancti acumenici Concilii
Taticani.
The Ministry of the Interior is willing to
acknowledge that the Right Reverend Arch
bishop of Bamberg has been guided by the
Ministerial decision above mentioned, but cannot
comply with the request In this the Ministry
is not Influenced by the otherwise important
fact that many competent theologians have
raised great objections against the legal value
of the decrees of the (Ecumenical Council from
a theological standpoint, for this consideration
belongs to the domain of the Church, and can,
therefore, Lave no' decisive Influence upon the
councils of the Ministry.
Of very great importance is, however, the
fact that the above-mentioned dogmatic consti
tution, and the consequences resulting from it,
canse not only a material chauge in the inner
relations of the Catholic Church, but also in
those existing between Church and State in
Bavaria. According to the opinion of the un
dersigned ministry, it is certain that if the
power of the Head of the Catholic Church
within certain domains, as defiued in this con
stitution, were carried out, the fundamental arti
cles of the Bavarian constitution and the citizens'
Vjights of the non-Catholics of the country would
. waceo in leopardy. in contradiction with
his theory ii has, however, been emphatl-
any declared by several dignitaries
of the Church that the newly defined dogma
was strictly connned within tne limits of. latth
and religious instruction. This assertion, as
well as the other extenuating explanations of
the above tamed constitution by the Right Rev.
Archbishop of Bamberg, cannot calm tiie fears
of the Ministry, for there is no guarantee that
these manifold Papal edicts of former times,
Which prevailed upon the domain of worldly
affairs, might not be put in practice, or that no
more edicts of the tame kind will be issued in
the future.
Moreover, the domain of religion and religious
Instruction is not so clearly marked as to ex
clude cases which possibly might also belong to
the domain of worldly affairs. In view of this
consideration.lt is impossible for the undersigned
.Ministry to regard in the above-mentioned dog
matical decree a purely spiritual subject of con
science and religious instruction and as not con
flicting with the worldly domain. The Ministry
rather shares the opinion of those who see in ft
an essential alteration in the relations between
Church ana State, and apprehend great danger
for the political and social foundations of the
Mate from the publication of this decree.
L'Dder these circumstances the Government
would receive the reproach of having trifled with
its trust if it were to allow the inference that it
agreed with the decrees of the (Ecumenical
Couocll by permitting their publication. The
undersigned Ministry has therefore come to the
conclusion that it is nnable to grant the request
Oi tne Kignt Keerend Arcnoisnop ot Bamberg,
By order of his Royal Majesty. Von Lutz.
SHEBM1N ON SUMNER.
The Ohio Senator Explains the Displace.
mtnl of the Massachusetts Senator as He
I'lidirstnuds It.
The following letter from Senator Sherman
appears in the Springfield (Ohio) Republic:
Mansfield, OUio.Aprll 84, 1871. Sir: I promised
you that after the close ol the recent session of
Congress I would answer the inquiries put lo me tn
your paper or me xaa inc. as to the removal or Mr.
fcuruner from the chairmanship of the Committee oa
foreign jtemuons.
The chief reasons that led to the removal of Mr,
Funiner were that his personal relations with the
President and Secretary f Isti had become such that
It was impossible for them to transact In harmony
the public business, aud that the committee was so
commuted as not fairly to represent a majority or
Uie penaie.
The Senate shares with the President the treaty
making power. 'J his, iron- its nature. Is eontiden
tial secret; conducted mainly tn social intercourse
demanding confidence, advice, and consent. It so
happened, when 1 he committees were to be formed
that, besldu diplomatic appointments and for Rial
treaties with other powers, we had on hand the
highly important English negotiation and the San
Domingo annexation.
On both these topics the President and Mr. Su ru
der differed widely. Mr. Bumner insisted that toe
hasty proclamation Dy ureal Hrits.it of neutrality
between the United Sta'es and the Southern Coa-
leueracy was tus foundation the fraiamen of the
Alabama claims. The President aud Mr. Fish cou-
tended that tins procismation was an act f which
we could not complain, except as an indication of
an unfriendly spirit by Great Britain aud that the
true basis of the Alabama claims Is, that Great
Britain, alter proclaiming neutrality, did not enforce
It, int a. lowed her subjects to build, man, arm, aad
fight English ciusers, undsr cover or the .Rebel
Hair, to the destruction of our commercial navv. No
cation ever befre, whl e proclaiming- peace, In
flicted so great an Injury upon a friendly power.
This dnfeience of opinion between the 'resident
and Mr. Pouiner led to the removal of Mr. Motley,
who sided with Sumner, and unquestionably tnten
' silled the feeling that had arisen from tue'kSau Do
mingo treaty.
In the meantime social relations bstweeathe
Secretary of Mate and Mr. (fumuer had become Im
possible, and, censiderlug humas passion, prejudice;
and iteling, aujthiLg like frank aud confidential
communication between the President aud Air.
fcuuiner was out of the question.
It raust be remembered that an both truss Impor
tant topics a majority of the Ktpubllcau Senator
aided with the President. We generally agreed thtt
ll was a faUe-pretended neutrality, aud a toe hasty
proclamation of neutrality, that save us an unques
tionable right to dtmand Indemnity fraun Great Brl
tain for the depredations of the Alabama and other
Xiiigilkh cruisers.
lu the Republican conference the first question
that arohe was as to Mr. Sumner, lie was the oldest
Senator In consecutive service, lie wan eintnnt
not only as a faithful reprssfatative of kepubllcan
principles, but as especially qualified to be Chairman
of our Foreign Relatlois. lie hid loog held that
H' euioa, sue It was not usual in the Bnt to
cnange the commit' ess, but to follow the rule Of
seniority, placing (senators of the majority party U
the order of their coming Into the Senate, aud those
f the minority at the foot of the list.
In deciding Mr. hnuiuer s case in view Of the fact!
J have slated, two piaui wr urged:
First. To place Mm at the head of the new and
lmporisnt Commitfe of Privileges and Klrifion.
leaving the i est of the committee to stand In the
p.ecise order It bad been, with one vacancy to be
filled in narmrny with the majority
Second. To leave Mr. Sumner tt stand In bis Old
plare as chairman, and to make a change In the
body of the committee by promoting one ol Its mem
bers to another committee, and mi the vacancy by a
Senator in harmony with the majority.
My own opinion was and Is that the latter course
was the most politic and Just; but the majority de
cided, alter fall consideration and debate, npon the
first alternative.
It has been the subject of complaint that Mr.
Cameron, and not some one else, was leftatttio head
of the committee. Bat he was next In the list, and,
by uniform nsage, became Its chairman, unless he
voluntarily declined.
f uch are the leading farts, and I state them with
out any desire to justify my own opinion or to
arraign others. Of one thing I am clear, that after
this purely domestic controversy was decided tn a
Republican conference, it was highly improper to
allow our political adversaries to review it.
lie must nave a narrow mind wno cannot per
ceive enough here for an honest difference of
opinion, or who can find in this question a pretense
for a schism in a great political organization.

TIIE CAR IIOOK MURDER.
Death of Mr. Putnam, the Victim The
Assassin Surrendered to Coroner Young
and Confined lu the Tombs Alleged Iu-
humanllyof a Druggist and the Police.
Averv D. Putnam, the commission merchant.
of No. (IS Pearl street, who on Wednesday even
ing, for protecting from insult Madame Duval
and daughter, of No. 763 Broadway, was 6tnckcn
down by William Foster, died at St. Luke's
Hospital at o clock yesterday morning.
ASSAULT WAS PREMEDITATED AND UNPROVOKED
The published statement of Conductor Gold-
waite differs but little from that made by other
witnesses to the assault; but it clearly snows
that he made no determined effort to protect
those under his care from the brutal insults of a
fellow employe of the Broadway and Seventh
Avenue Railroad. .
The brutality of the druggist Into whose store
Air. rutunm was carried, me crowd wno col
lected on the street, aud Captain Klllalea's
police, Is severely denounced by Miss Jennie
Duval, who to a reporter yesterday made the
statement that while Mr. Putnam was lying
insensible npon tne down tract, wild, a car
approaching, ene caiiea upon some men wno
had collected to remove him, when she was
an&wered:
"he is drunk; let nm lib tiiere;"
tbat she and her mother lifted the inauimate
man and carried bim to the sidewalk, from
which he was subsequently removed to a drug
store on the east side ot Headway, a little aoove
orty-sixin street, where a chair was refused
the victim, aud that the druggist even declined
to give them water to apply to Mr. Putnam's
head.
When the death of Mr. Putnam became known
in the city there was Intense excitement, and
the murder was everywhere characterized m
atrocious and dastardly lu the extreme. The
railroad companies come in for general con
demnation, aud were freely denounced for their
indifference for the care of their patvons, and
they are by no meaus blameless.
foster eurrekdered to coroner tounq.
Early yesterday morning Coroner Young re
ceived a despatch from Sergeant Davidson, of
tne 1 wentv-eigbtn precinct, stating that Air.
Putnam bad died in St. Luke's Hospital shortly
belore three o'clock A. M., and requested that
action be taken tu the case. At a later hour,
while at bis omee, the tJoroner received a com
munication from Alderman Pluukett, in whieh
he expressed a willingness to surrender the
alleiicd murderer, aud requested him (Coroner
Young) to send to the Yorkville Police Court a
warrant and commitment for Foster, which was
accordingly done. The latter was delivered to
Captain Killalea, of the Twenty-second precinct.
and the prisoner was transferred to the Tombs
to await the result of an investigation.
THE ATTACHES OF TUB CAR.
Cunningham, the driver, who, it is alleged,
Dromnted Foster to insult the ladies, has been
committed to the House of Detention on Leo-
sard street, where Sergeant Davis permits him
to communicate with no one not even the
representatives of the press. Goldwaite, who
by the public is not held blameless, is still at
large, but it is likely that Coroner Young will
commit bim to the House of Detention as a
witness against the murderer. Af. 2'. Herald,

THE ALABAMA. CLAIMS.
English Satisfaction at the Prospect of a
Settlement The Responsibility of Por
tugal.
From the London Timet, April IT.
We hall the promise of a settlement of the Ala
bama dispute witn genuine satisiaction, although by
no means disposed, even for the sake of permaueut
good-will, to go a step beyoud what we believe to
be the proper measure of international obligations.
The brevity of a telegraphic despatch cannot
affect to reproduce all the heads of an elaborate
convention, and it is, Indeed, possible that some
questions that are suggested by our correspondent's
message would remain unsatisfied even if we had
the full text of the agreement between the commis
sioners before us. We are told tbat tlio contracting?
parties agree to a ruie mat -a neutral is responsible
lor depredations committed ou a friendly power by
a vessel fitted out aud mannea at a neutral port."
AVe can have no doubt that it is for the beuetit of
all the family of nations that ueutrals should pre
vent their ports being made the liases of ho tile ex
peditions undertake n in the interest of one belll
gereut against another. If, however, tho prlaulple
is established, ibe actual Investigation of the seve
ral Alabama claims Is to be remitted to a commis
sion tif five.
There thus seems a fair chance Tthat within a
reasonaWy short time this trouclnoun (juration
will be definitely settled, 'ilie temper or tne

The an est of Fanny Mordaunt on Friday evening:
on the charge of disorderly conduct, aud her at

to mind pome curh ns facts In this remarkable
woman's history. Mrs. Mordaur t Is about thirty.
three years ot age. She is a native of Waahlngtou,
at d rrsidfd In that city up to within a few months.
Her malaen name was Ronx. At the outbreak of
the war she married a Mr. Cole; this union was
brief, however, owing probably to Fanny's violent
temper.
Once released, she plunged into tne vortex of
fnehion find paycty. Among her many admirers was
CoUinrl btuart, of Washington. With this gentleman

Taking advantage of her now superior station she

She lived with Hi Ktlilion two years, and that oflloer's

The New Grand Jury Judge Flulettcr'a
inarge.
Court of Quarter 8enion Judge Finlctter,
The May term of the Court opened this morning.
Mr. Joseph Arrtson being appointed foreman of the
brand Jury, la delivering tho customary charge to
tne urana jury, duoge t iuieiier saia :
Gentlemen or tne u-rana J ury : I desire to ad
dress you briefly upon yoor duties and responsibili
ties. The urana inquest irom tne earnest times
has been regarded as a most Important part of our
system of criminal Jurisprudence, which, whether
regarded as tne parsac or onssnng or rree institu
tions, has preserved, against all attacks and uuder
all vicissitudes, the rights and liberty of the indi
vidual niau.
From the people, for whose safety and prosperity
all laws should be made aud enforced, the Qrand
Jurors are selected. No criminal, however flagraut.
can be brought to trial or puutabmeut until a Grand
Jury In manner aud form has presented an accusa
tion against mm.
There is, however, a more agreeable auty. it is to
protect the innocent from the unjust accusations
ot malice and oppression, it is tne business oi the
District Attorney in proper form to place before you
tbe accusations of the Commonwealth. These are
are called "bills," or bills of Indictment.
It is vour duty to ascertain by competent testi
mony whether the facts therein contained be true
or not. Tbat they constitute In law a crime is not
for you to judge, as tr.at is the peculiar province or
the Court. Nor would it be proper for you to con
sider the hardship of any particular case, or tbe
severity or propriety or any particular uw.
In considering such bills as tho District Attorney
may present, you will be guided a oue by the evi
dence of the wltnesnes whose names aro endorsed
uuon tbem. If tbe necessity arise for hearing wit
nesKes not endorsed upon the bills, it is the duty of
the Dlsti let Attorney to apply to the Court for per-
mission to add the names of the witnesses upon the
bill, ami upen cause oeing snon, tne court wu
allow this to be done, i las is uo mere technicality.
It is the right of tbe citizen to know who it is that
ctiarges lilin with crime, ana Mho the wituesses are
to sustain tbe ascusation.
Compel no maa to vindicate himself at the bar or
public justice uuless you have faith In the Integrity
of his accusers, and are sittlsiled from the evidence
that be has vloutni the law.
Vou cauuot attach teo much lraportaace to the
secrecy vt hlch should attend your deliberations. It
will be not oiOy a violation of y ur duty aud your
oaths, but will be a high misdemeanor aud a great
public wrong, for you to speak to any oLe raveibe
District Aitoriity ana ins uuuri, or sucu matters as
von n by have In charge.
With corruption lu the Grand Jury the whole
stream of our jurlsprudeucn becomes polluted. Hut
when the louutalu is pure it sends rortu living
waters to gladden and refresh the hearts ot men.
I am sure ou will take a worthy, manly pride lu an
honest and Intelligent discharge of your duties, aud
thereby deserve mid receive the approbation of your
fellow i'itizns, for whom you are cauei upoa to
act.
